[English Abstract] :
Rapid urbanization, high energy consumption, and climate change are deeply intertwined, making progress towards a low carbon society a necessity for human survival and economic prosperity. However, the substitution of fossil energies with renewable energy sources calls for deeper integration of new technologies (e.g., smart grids) and further advances in intelligent building offerings.
Committed to transforming into a low carbon economy, the EU proposed several measures to establish a resilient energy union and develop its digital energy sector. Based on the assumption that electric cars and rooftop solar panels will hit mass markets in the next years, the European energy grid needs to be adjusted and upgraded. Since a low carbon economy is in strong need of balancing the relationship between energy supply and demand, the availability of information plays a major role in improving energy efficiency. Therefore, the EU set out a target that 80% of private homes should be equipped with smart meters by 2020. As of the end of 2019, the target seems not achievable over the next years. This work seeks to provide answers on why the EU fails to hit the target on deploying smart meters and discusses major issues raised in the European discussion about implementing new intelligent digital devices at homes.
